False Target
(2026)(The ninth book in the Blood Ties: Rise of the Mafia series)
A novel by Chris Thorndycroft
A simple murder-for-hire job should have been easy money. But for Brooklyn waterfront toughs Giuseppe Florino and Umberto Anastasio it's anything but. The hit is a setup. The only questions are who and why.
Detective Antonio Bellini of the Italian Squad has a homicide case, a frightened witness, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond a single murder. But as the two hitmen attempt to tie up all loose ends, Bellini's feelings for the witness deepen, and he is forced to choose between following the law and doing whatever it takes to keep her alive.
False Target is an 18,000-word novella and book nine in Blood Ties: Rise of the Mafia, a long-running saga that chronicles the story of the American Mafia from its humble beginnings in the early 20th century.
Genre: Mystery
